Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for October 04, 2021

What fine lives those two live.

Hey, whatever works. ✨

I wonder what Arnold the Pig has been up to since “Green Acres” was cancelled.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

For some reason, I’m reminded of the scene in History of the World, Part I, where Bea Arthur’s character tell’s Mel Brook’s character “so, you’re a bulls*****r”

It would be more funny if Bets had posted this on the door to Stef and Tiffany’s room.

….and they both took it personally.

I wonder where Ivlax is tonight. He usually likes to be first…

Maybe they will cancel each other out living together and become more balanced whole real people.

Tee up for a drawn out roommate swap.

I wonder what job Dez thinks she’s going to get by majoring in Social Transcendence?!?

The motto of every successful influencer.

Can college kids actually go into debt for the rest of their lives for degrees in Spirtual Enlightenment?

Has anyone noticed Steph has a giant head and not just her hair?

Nice to see some diversity in the comics…a capitalist and a humanitarian…

You forgot to include your Snapgram and your followers in your list of loves. You love followers because they mean money for you. I suspect your top love is money, Bets.

“What have I been doing? Oh dumb teen stuff like courting liars and cheaters. And then, when I met the one genuine guy that I was looking for in the first place, I responded by taking him for granted and discarding him in a parking lot. Needless to say, I’m Ready to take on Corporate America! Madison Avenue here I come!” – Bets

Is Gunther part of Bets’ dumb teen stuff.

I like these two. At least they have goals beyond a mrs degree.

What kinda major is that? Methinks someone will be homeless shortly after graduation….

Dine & dash poster

Well, if ever saw “Pulp Fiction” you might surmise that Arnold’s “makin’ bacon”

With those majors, Dez will create beautiful flower arrangements in a high class florist shop, and Bets will own the shop.

After being infested by Steff and Kip, Tiffany needs to take a shower………….hold on, I’ll join you.

After college, maybe Dez will continue her studies at Unity Village.

Bets is a Trump-style capitalist. Sad.

No wonder Dez is so wise and able of dealing with every kinds of situations♡! It’s nice to finally know her major.

Left Brain, meet Right Brain.

Hmmmm: Flash+ sass+ dash= cash. I wonder what this might lead to?

Well, if you believe in spirituality and the gift of man, Dez will be going to a different place than Bets!

Failure in every aspect.

I couldn’t even get Google to tell me what “Social Transcendence” is. In Metaphysics, do you get a degree, or so you just finally become aware of everything?

Dueling posters.

Whatna h*ll just happened? Weren’t they (and we) just standing at the dorm room door waiting for Tiff to beat the living dog dirt out of Stef ….. and now this "Hi old buddy, howya been ….. " crapp?? It seem like a whole segment of this series has been misfiled!

Okay, “same difference”, sort of…

Rumblings of trouble in paradise on the horizon…

Where do you apply for a job in that field?

Oh Dez. What are you thinking trying to use university as a method of self-actualization and personal fulfillment? Instead of that worthless endeavor, learn spreadsheets and get a job in business administration. You won’t be happy, but you’ll maybe be more employable (no guarantees and you’ll still be in debt).

Oppositely the same? What?

You can major in social transcendence? Are there many jobs available in that field?

Oh the joys of being self-centered, ruthless, materialistic, and narcissistic. Poor Gunth. If only he had a set.

Well… looks like we’re off to another dragging week at Mooney Uni. Maybe GnK will surprise up with something.

Ughh, could Dez please stop being such a neo-hippie stereotype? And a smug one, at that.

This ought to be an interesting week. Last week we had the caloric Tiff-Stef dust up on the B-side. This week is starting as as sanguine opposite over on the A-side. Will this dichotomy continue as the main direction of the strip?

OR will we get a mix-and-match goings on??? And how will Kip boy play into this little stage play?

Mirror images of each other, at least in personal goals.

Mooney U offers a degree in “Metaphysic and Social Transcendence”? And one in business? What kind of college is this?

I love this. ❤

Easy to guess which of them will be successful after graduation!

And they seem to like each other, and don’t mind the differences.

And another college graduate with a completely worthless degree.

Pretty honest portrayal, in humerous detail, on how college students distill their goals—until life fully intervenes. Such a difference between the two sisters-in-kind across the way and the two in color—a new stage—here. Now where is the story going?

Cosplay?

Has it been suggested that Dez swap rooms with Tiffany yet? After all, Dez is so groovy and zen and at one with herself and nature, so Steff and Kip can do whatever it is they do and she won’t mind. (Steff n Kip sounds like a cereal brand.)

Bets if you were any more plastic youd be a credit card.

They’re gonna be great roommates. Way better than Stef and Tiffany.

There is only one star in Bet’s universe – her. Gunther needs to escape her gravity well.

Notice there’s no cash in Des’ philosophy!

He’s directing porn in the Gov’s mansion…you pick a state.

Tiffany has outgrown this college gaggle, it’s not working. She needs something more mature. Like what? I don’t know. But, I do know that Greg has not been kind to her. She has a mansion to live in, and Greg has stuck her in a crowded dorm with a locker room floozie as her roommate.

“Transcendence refers to the very highest and most inclusive or holistic levels of human consciousness, behaving and relating, as ends rather than means, to oneself, to significant others, to human beings in general, to other species, to nature, and to the cosmos”

Dash certainly means cash.

Embrace your differences and the qualities about you that you think are weird. Eventually, they’re going to be the only things separating you from everyone else.

Sebastian Stan

Dez there is a saying that change is good.

SORRY, But still can’t get the “pew” from yesterday,,,,,just dense.

I find the Dez character to be wholly pretentious and self righteous. She can’t even remember the name of their camp. That whole Zen “I am one with the universe” stuff is just another way of acting self important. She’s always spouting vague little quips that really mean nothing at all. Her little “Inside Out-Outside In” comment is just a put-down in disguise, intended to portray her goals as being more valuable than those of Bets. Bets of course is never fazed by that kind of nonsense!

I heard the principal walked in on a Metaphysics class. He said to the instructor, “It looks like all your students are sleeping.” The instructor replied, “Shhhh! They’re taking the final exam.”

Dear Greg and Karen, write Dez off and bring back Delta. Thank you.

Dez will have a happier life filled with peace and contentment. Bets will have a life spent chasing her next material possession and never feeling satisfied with what she has.

The pursuit of Happiness goes to Desdemona while the pursuit of Hard cold Cash $$$ goes to Bets.

Complete opposites are usually what get along once common ground is found.

Looks like this is going to be a week to skip

Looks like Dez plans to be unemployed with a large debt.

Bets: source of income is social media and Dez has an unknown source of income. Dez has traveled the world. Has free time to work the community gardens. Her family might be wealthy.

flash + sass + dash = cash… sad but probably true

Wait a sec, I thought these two were at Camp Buckaroo? Where’d Camp Coyote come from?

OMG I’m surprised Bets doesn’t have an obnoxious Hustle Culture account on Twitter full of aphorisms about how to “Visualize, Actualize, Grasp, and Claw.” But there’s really not that many degrees of separation between that and an Instant Karma type who thinks “Metaphysics” means “New Age woo.”

It’s a long shot but maybe We’ll get a bit of Bets’ backstory this week.

Not crossing My fingers though………., ;-)

Dez and Bets are complementary types; together, they may conquer the world (or earn their degrees, at least).

Stef and Tiff, on the other hand, are too similar to get along well….

Different paths to success.

So one wants to support herself, her family and maybe be able to help others, while the other wants to be a burden while trying to guilt people into supporting her and those that chose as she did.

Bets must have been a different girl back then.

When living in the dorm, I never worried about being similar to my roommates. One was rather taken aback, apparently, and commented that while she had a large poster of Mark Spitz, the Olympic swimmer, I had a 5-foot tall poster of Frankenstein! (I also liked her poster; she never mentioned whether she grew to like mine.)

Dez seems pretty covered up for someone thrilled to have just joined a naturalist group. You’d think she’d be dressing more like Tiffani and Stef!

You can major in metaphysics and social transcendence?

SMH

Uh, the camp was called Camp Buckeroo a couple strips ago…
